Denver CO Chiropractor Offers Relief From Headaches

By Frank Carbart


There are over 100 different types of headaches, denoted by the symptoms as well as the causes. Here are some of the most common types that are seen by Denver, CO Chiropractors:

Tension: Also known as a stress, non-progressive, chronic, or daily headache, this is the most commonly reported type, especially in teens and adults. The pain level is typically mild to moderate, usually manifesting as an intermittent throb. They generally coincide with stressful situations and are often effectively relieved with chiropractic therapeutic massage techniques.

Migraines: This classification generally manifests as a stabbing, throbbing, pounding pain accompanied by other symptoms. Their duration varies from a few hours, to days, or even weeks. They might even appear multiple times within a month and be debilitating. Side effects include stomach cramps, light and noise sensitivity, and motion sickness. These can be difficult to pinpoint but correcting spinal alignment is typically effective at reducing the severity and frequency of these headaches.

Cluster headaches: This type of headache is not too common and this is a good thing because this type of headache is considered by those who have suffered from them to be the single most intense and painful headache they have ever experienced. People describe it as a burning or piercing pain behind the eyes, and it can come and go or be constant.

The intensity associated with a cluster headache is often intolerable. If a sufferer is capable of getting out of bed and attending a chiropractic appointment, a therapeutic massage or spinal adjustment may help ease some tension and decrease the pain.

Sinus: This headache category is commonly linked to allergies and congestion. They typically accompany situations such as infections, allergic reactions, and Sinusitis. Other symptoms which might manifest with the pain are facial swelling, coughing, sneezing, sore throat, low grade fever, plugged ears, and a runny nose. Many people are often surprised to learn chiropractic techniques are capable of alleviating the debilitating pressure and pains associated with this condition.

Mixed headache syndrome: This is another dozy of a headache and it is also called transformed migraines by some people. A condition that is a mix of migraine and tension headaches; affecting both adults and children. It is one of the most commonly diagnosed headaches. They are usually short lived but severity, frequency, and intensity varies greatly form one person to the next. If you suffer from frequent headaches, a visit to your Denver, CO Chiropractor may be just what you need to feel better!
